Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defence Forces (18 Nov 2021)

Gino Kenny: Most of my questions have been answered at this stage but I welcome the Minister's statement and his attendance at the PDFORRA conference in October. Some of the claims in the radio documentary "Women of Honour" were deeply unsettling. There existed a culture of misogyny, bullying, discrimination and harassment. That culture went on for decades and targeted both women and men. People who...

Sex Offenders (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2021)

Gino Kenny: This is very profound and complex legislation. Sexual crimes are a very important subject. Sexual violence of any kind is utterly hideous.

The profound effect on the victim is incalculable. For people who have been sexually abused or had...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Budget Process (23 Nov 2021)

Gino Kenny: My question relates to the State policy that has led to 25 years and more of failure in respect of those in society who take drugs. We need to have a grown-up conversation about this.

In the past 25 years, there has been a 225% increase in drug-related deaths....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (24 Nov 2021)

Gino Kenny: I raise an issue that I have probably raised countless times in my five-and-a-half-year tenure here. It is about access to medicinal cannabis.

Covid-19: New Measures: Statements (24 Nov 2021)

Gino Kenny: I will share an encounter I had today in the canteen in Leinster House. I spoke to one of the service officers who I had not seen in a considerable time.
